Going Places

Phew....what a week! I haven't gone to bed before midnight once this week...and it is catching up to me!! I have been doing a lot of stamping in the evenings...but that means that I haven't had much time to blog...or see my poor husband! I think he is feeling a bit abandoned! :( I have finished a lot of projects that were on my 'to do' list...but I still have a ways to go. The good news is that I will have a lot to share with you over the next few days! :)

The card that I want to share with you today incorporates two past Prettie Girl challenges. First, first Jana's sketch challenge, and second, Jessie's challenge to use three embellishments on one card. My three embellishments are dimensional stickers, ribbon and brads.

This card is for the birthday of a woman who is a travel buff...so, what better stamp to use than MFT Going Places?! Christie has MFT stamps over in her online store here. She also has a sale going on right now! Here are the details:

Now, back to my card! The patterned paper is called Legacy Collage by Beth Cote. I used SU! Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon and cardstock. I also used some Barely Banana too...love that combo! The travel words dimensional stickers are by K & Company and the brads are JoAnn Essentials. I then used an oval punch and arrow punch for my accents.

About Me

I am a mom, a wife, a lover of travel and literature, and a papercrafter. My life is busy, and full of blessings. I have a wonderful husband, and two healthy and happy children...ages 7 and 10 years.
Four major moves, and homes in three countries in less than six years (Canda, Switzerland, and now the United States), were the motivating factors in starting my blogs. We are fortunate to have friends and family scattered in numerous countries, and it is my effort to keep in touch and bridge the gap. It is my hope that my blogs will help me to achieve that goal!
